Trump calls Black Lives Matter a "Marxist organization" and says it's "discriminatory."

Interview with Laura Ingraham.

From what I'm reading on Twitter this sounds like it's going worse than the presser.

1. Republicans are too stupid to know what Socialism, Marxism, Communism and Fascism are.

[lordsummerisle]

2. Marxist organization?

Too bad he wouldn't know the difference between Karl and Groucho...

3. "It's just not right to shoot a man seven times in the back"

Eeek! A Marxist!

[Ferrets are Cool]

4. Keep opening that orange maw of yours dumbass.

The more he talks, the better off WE are.

6. When folks say Black Lives Matter they're endorsing the sentiment, not their entire agenda.

7. You can read the entire Communist Manifesto in under an hour.

It's a philosophical rag and not much else. If Trumpers actually turned off the TV and went to the library....they wouldn't find much value in it....but this assumes Trumpers can read.

The real work by Marx, is "Capital". But it does require a level of intelligence above Trump to understand.

8. As far as polemics go it's a masterful piece of writing.

11. In my opinion, we give credit to the wrong person.

Engels was either the main author or influencer of this work. The Capital, written by Marx is logical and still has profound critiques of economics today, much like Smith, Ricardo, Keynes, etc. The Communist Manifesto describes a utopia with no real road map to obtain it. Pie in the sky. Economics is a science and like all science, new information means you have to adjust your theories.

9. This tactic is a bit like fashion, really. The same tired old thing comes around again and again.

It doesn't actually make any sense; it doesn't have to. It just gives people an excuse to scream, "BOO!" and be ugly.

10. So "Black people...with the bats" is bad, but White people with guns is what we need more of?

12. 85% of Americans, including Trump

Probably couldn‘t tell you the first thing about Marxism. Hell, they couldn‘t tell you where he was from, where and when Marx lived, or even his first name (and no, Donald, it wasn‘t Groucho).
